Qingshan Town, located in the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, is almost adjacent to the Warcraft Mountains. With Gu Fei's speed, he arrived here in less than a week and also found time to refine the Sea Heart Flame.
"Qingshan Town seems to also be called Warcraft Town," Gu Fei murmured as he looked at the bustling and lively town before him.
Qingshan Town is close to the Monster Mountain Range, so it should be somewhat dangerous. In the minds of the Warcraft, human territories are not very diverse. Qingshan Town is prosperous and bustling, with abundant cultivation resources, making it a target for powerful Warcraft seeking to plunder.
However, there are several mercenary groups in the town, led by three major ones, each with more than a hundred members. They not only accept missions but also protect Qingshan Town's peace.
While some mercenaries are less reputable, most treat Qingshan Town as their home and protect it diligently. It's a good place to explore.
As Gu Fei wandered the streets of Qingshan Town, he admired the variety of shops around him and touched his chin thoughtfully. He soon came across a medicine shop called Wanyaozhai.
The pharmacy was beautifully decorated, with a faint medicinal scent wafting through the air. It looked very inviting. Several tall and burly mercenaries stood guard at the store's entrance, likely hired by the owner to deter thieves.
Gu Fei took note of the medicinal fragrance and felt a hint of joy. He had found what he was looking for.
At that moment, a purple-haired girl entered the store. Her brisk footsteps drew Gu Fei's attention. The woman, dressed in a light white dress, wasn't stunning but had a rare beauty. Her smile exuded a fresh and ethereal charm, enhancing her attractiveness.
Her willow-thin waist was accentuated by a green belt, making her look exceptionally delicate.
Gu Fei, now dressed in a young man's outfit rather than the black robe he wore in the Black Horn Region, looked handsome and elegant. Despite hiding his aura perfectly, his unique charm made him stand out.
The most striking figure in the pharmacy was Gu Fei, whose refined demeanor suggested he was from a noble family, unlike the crude mercenaries typical of Qingshan Town.
"Sir, are you looking for medicinal herbs?" the Little Fairy Doctor asked with a faint smile.
She approached Gu Fei with a warm expression in her purple eyes. Despite Gu Fei's indifference to beauty, he couldn't help but soften his tone.
Gu Fei had already deduced that the purple-haired girl was the Little Fairy Doctor due to her ethereal charm. He began asking about the medicinal herbs he needed.
"I need Blood Lotus Essence and herbs like Ice Heart Flame Grass."
Though the Little Fairy Doctor was skilled in pharmacology, her knowledge was limited to this small town. She didn't immediately recognize Blood Lotus Essence.
[Xiao Yixian has doubts, and her emotion value increases by 90]
A hint of shyness appeared in her eyes as she blushed slightly at her lack of knowledge.
Seeing the system prompt, Gu Fei decided to help Xiao Yixian without embarrassing her.
"This Blood Lotus Essence is more powerful than Coptis Chinensis Essence."
The Little Fairy Doctor had heard of Coptis Chinensis Essence, but the significance of Blood Lotus Essence was new to her. She was stunned for a moment before nodding and listening to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei continued, "As soon as I entered the shop, I noticed the strong scent of Blood Lotus Essence."
He walked toward the source of the smell and soon found it in an inconspicuous corner of the pharmacy. He picked up the Blood Lotus Essence and showed it to Xiao Yixian.
"Here it is."
The Blood Lotus Essence, while only a small piece, emitted a strong fragrance. Xiao Yixian's eyes lit up as she took a light sniff.
[Xiao Yixian has admiration emotion, and her emotion value increases by 90]
Impressed by Gu Fei's knowledge and keen perception, Xiao Yixian felt admiration for him. Despite the ordinary appearance of Gu Fei's clothes compared to other wealthy young men, his strength was evidently superior.
Qingshan Town was not large, and Xiao Yixian had not encountered many wealthy young men. Those she had met often offered large sums of money for her hand in marriage, which annoyed her. Gu Fei's strength and demeanor set him apart from those uneducated suitors.
"Sir, are you a pharmacist?" Xiao Yixian asked, intrigued.
Gu Fei nodded, confirming her suspicion.
The Little Fairy Doctor smiled in surprise.
"Young Master is indeed an alchemist!"
[Xiao Yixian has admiration emotion, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Xiao Yixian's excitement was evident, and a faint pink color appeared on her cheeks.
Everyone in Qingshan Town knew that the Little Fairy Doctor had always aspired to be a pharmacist. Her gentle and kind nature made her popular among those she treated. Despite her desire to become an alchemist, her attributes were more suited to being a doctor who could only refine medicinal powders, not powerful pills.
